If module examinations in the course of study are not successfully completed within a specified time or if they have not passed several times, this may lead to a loss of the right to the examination in one subject or in the entire course of study. The study and examination regulations for the Bachelor's degree program Teaching at grammar schools of 24.08.2015 (StPO) define criteria for a loss of the right to take exams. § 6 of the StPO sets deadlines by which module examinations must be passed.
- At the end of the 3. Semester: Until the end of the examination period in the third semester, at least one graded examination performance must be successfully completed in each subject in the second attempt at the latest. The examination performance in question can be specified in more detail in Appendix B of the StPO for the individual subjects.
- At the end of the 6. Semester: In each of the selected subjects, module examinations of at least 40 ECTS must be successfully completed by the end of the examination period of the sixth semester.
- At the end of the 10. Semesters: All module examinations of the study program must be successfully completed by the end of the examination period in the tenth semester.
Exceeding the deadline or failing to pass module exams despite repetitions usually leads to a loss of the right to take the exam in the chosen subject or for the entire bachelor's examination of the course of study. In such cases, please get in touch with the student advisory service or the examination committee in good time. In special cases, there is the possibility of an extension of the deadline by the examination committee.
The repetition of module exams is regulated in § 20 StPO (please read).
Failed module exams can be repeated. Passed exams cannot be repeated (keyword: "grade improvement"). If a module examination consists of several partial examinations, only the exams that have not been passed must be repeated.
As a rule, module exams can be repeated twice. Exceptions are:
- The bachelor thesis. This can be repeated once;
- The master's thesis. This can be repeated once;
- The module examination is to be taken in each subject by the end of the third semester (see above).
